Chunky Maple Walnut Spread

 

1 8 oz. package cream cheese, softened at room temperature for one hour

2/3 cup chopped walnuts

1/2 cup dried cranberries or raisins

1/4 cup maple syrup

1/4 tsp. cinnamon

 

Put cream cheese in a medium bowl. Add walnuts, raisins, syrup and cinnamon.

Stir with a wooden spoon or rubber spatula until ingredients are mixed together.

Spread on bagels, toast, or apple slices.

Note To make as a softer dip for apple slices or strawberries, use twice as much

maple syrup. To reduce fat and calorie content, use whipped cream cheese instead

of a brick cream cheese.

Makes 12 servings.
